Ricardo has a meeting after church on Sunday and Ruth's husband was out of town so we took the 8 kids to Mellow Mushroom for pizza and had a great time. Yes, we now warrant our own room! :)

Last Saturday I took Marco and Callen to Jack's birthday party. It was a super fun party and the boys had a blast. Christy is so talented and put love into every last detail. When Ruth dropped off Callen at our house, she picked up D and A and they spent a few hours with the Coxes and had a very fun time!!

Lucia kept busy the whole time :)

Check out this tank cake!

The super cool army

Marco is crazy about his new binoculars!

While the 3 big kids went outside to slide down the driveway in plastic bins, Peyton stayed inside with me and held lucia while I cooked dinner.

Alexia's class recited in chapel last week. What an adorable bunch!

We came home and Peyton spent the whole day with us and the kids played amazingly well all day. Having one extra person just changed the dynamic enough that they kept super busy and happy and peaceful!

I can't believe it's been a week since our last post!
So last Wednesday was the snow day. We decided to get out of the house early in case we'd be home bound. We invited Peyton to go to the mall with us. Peyton is our neighbor's granddaughter and she's recently moved into Bubba's house (along with her parents) after her grandpa's passing.
The pic below is the kids throwing coins into a dry water fountain!

Cozy bear!
